Broderick did not know him, but he recognized at his side the well-groomed figure of Charles Cora, gambler and dandy. "Wancha t'meet Charley," said the introducer, unsteadily, to Richardson. "Bes' li'l man ever lived." Richardson held out his hand a bit reluctantly. Cora's sort were somewhat declassé. "Have a drink?" he invited. Broderick left them together.
For joy and despair and hope and dead love, because this means nothing to you and everything to me, because I love you and you love me not, because you once loved me !" She stopped in an access of anguish and, sobbing, knelt before him. The humility of true love had at last mastered her. "Not to me not to me," he said, unsteadily, lifting her. "And why not to you?
"Please. For me, partner." "One would have to be more than human, to say no to you," he returned, laughing a little unsteadily. "You're corrupting my upright professional sense of duty." "It can't be a duty to hold a friend up to ridicule, just for a little accident." "I'm not so sure," said Hal, again.
Foster began unsteadily; the words caught in his throat, and for an instant her face grew indistinct through the mist he could not keep back from his eyes. "You knew you were traveling on thin ice; the break-up was almost on you, yet you handicapped yourself with those foundlings. And you never told me.
Staggering to my feet, I ran on, but unsteadily, for in truth I was getting very near the end of my strength. However, a husky shout from those in front encouraged me, and I saw that at last we had come fairly upon the runaways. Just as Castro had foretold, they were taking to a mountain pass, eastward of Copari, and the main body was already toiling up the ascent.
But she saw willingness to be a sheriff come into his own eyes and stop there briefly. "Don't call me 'Felicia' while I feel as wicked as this! Oh, Robert, to think she named her little soul-doll after me!" "It's a beautiful name." Suddenly the wickedness was over. She laughed unsteadily. "It wouldn't be a good name for a sheriff's wife, would it?" she said. "So I'll stay by my own minister."
His moccasined feet clung to its slippery surface, and for a moment he oscillated unsteadily, then gained his balance and, laughing, looked at her. For a breathing space each rested motionless, she with strained, outstretched arm, he on the rock, a film of water covering his feet. It was a moment of physical mastery without conscious thought.
"Thank you," she answered, and rose quietly. "Good-night!" she said. "Oh! good-night, Mrs. De-de-liah superb Jo-Jones!" He laughed as she went sat ogling the fire for a little while, and then unsteadily, but not unconsciously, drew a pocket-book from his pocket and took out a small package.
They were crossing a little park high up above the city whose lights lay, shimmering and misty, below. The stillness was obtrusive here. Not a leaf stirred. There was no one about. They might have been alone upon some tropic peak. "I can't tell you, Frank." Her tone of blended longing and despair caught at his heart. Impetuously his arms went around her. "Dear," he said unsteadily.
Some sank in the stream. Last of all came the two infernal ships, swaying unsteadily with the current; the pilots of course, as they neared the bridge, having noiselessly effected their escape in the skiffs. The slight fire upon the deck scarcely illuminated the dark phantom-like hulls.
